Re: Painting on an image in a group?
Looking through my mails after just having returned from a few days time-out for recreation I notice this Painting on an image in a group?-discussion: On Mon Sep 29, 2008, Scott Rossi scott at tactilemedia.com wrote: Recently, David Bovill wrote: I am really looking for a solution for painting an image that is within a group.

Maybe something like this can help. Regards, Scott Rossi Creative Director Tactile Media, Multimedia Design Some time ago we had a discussion on the Metacard list concerning related problems of painting and drawing on images inside a group. The solution found was to temporarily move the image outside the group, apply the changes to the image, and then move the image back into the group. The following script demonstrates the implementation of this principle (button distortions: choose shape contains the script that applies changes to the image): on mouseUp set the imagedata of img x to the imagedata of img x set the relayergroupedcontrols to true put the layer of img x into tlayer set the layer of img x to top send mouseup to btn distortions: choose shape set the layer of img x to tlayer set the relayergroupedcontrols to false end mouseUp So an alternative approach to Scott's proposal of creating and using a second image would be just to move the image outside the group temporarily and then put it back into the group after applying the changes.

Re: Painting on an image in a group?
Thanks Scott, Joe - I'll go with Scotts solution. Scott a couple of questions - you use the text of image for the contents - just wandering why you like that syntax (it was new to me) - oh and where's the script to select the paint tools :) ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

You won't need this but I used a mouseMove handler to automatically show/hide the proxy image and switch the tools. When you are painting in the demo stack, you are painting in the proxy image; when the mouse moves outside the image rect, the proxy image is hidden and its data is transferred to the grouped image. BTW, an opaque object is required here to define the limits of the active paint region, which is why a graphic with noop ink is positioned behind the group. Mouse tracking will not work on a transparent object (ie. an image with no paint in it).

Re: Painting on an image in a group?
Hi Joe - thanks, but I am really looking for a solution for painting an image that is within a group. If I have to work around it by using card images then OK - but I'm just rying to confirm that it is not possible to paint within a grouped image. 2008/9/28 Joe Lewis Wilkins [EMAIL PROTECTED] David, I assume you're using the paint bucket tool for the user to paint with? I'm not quite sure why you are grouping this one image with the button. Why not just have each new card created with its own image. Group the button so it appears on all of the cards; and, perhaps, you may wish to hide it if or when you want to print the painted image. Also, what are the types of images you are using? Just drawn in the IDE or imported as a control image from files that have been scanned or maybe photos? I've been having success with user painting under almost all of these circumstances.

AFAIK - there is no way to do this, except be cloing the image as a card level object and painting in that - transfering the image contents to the groups image later? 2008/9/24 Joe Lewis Wilkins [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi David, Is it a group of images or a group of mixed objects?

Good luck, David. Hope you find a solution. Joe On Sep 29, 2008, at 1:13 PM, David Bovill wrote: Hi Joe - thanks, but I am really looking for a solution for painting an image that is within a group.
